From the end of the world

Chapter 198 VS Chen Long 1
The power of restart is a colorless force that cannot be captured by the naked eye. At this time, its shape can only be outlined through the changes in the sea of ​​fire.

The sea of ​​fire that rushed towards the Silver Masked Doctor was like hitting an invisible wall, and the five-meter radius around him seemed to have become an inviolable area. Upon closer inspection, the flames did not hit anything, but stagnated on their own, and even had a faint tendency to retreat.

This reminded me of my last experience in the secret room of the Director's Office. The flames were like my own body retreating. The power of restart that I encountered last time was probably just a force that was automatically activated by the Silver Mask Doctor, so I overcame it easily. This time it was different. The power of restart that I faced undoubtedly contained his will.

The changes did not stop there, the power of restart continued to spread far away. With the Silver Mask Doctor as the center, the space was like a water surface with ripples appearing, covering the laboratory, the corridor outside, and even the entire base in a blink of an eye... Everything that came into contact with these ripples was rewound.

Even I could feel a powerful force dragging me to the place I was traveling to and from, and the sea of ​​fire that covered the base was gradually receding. The "slag" I got from burning the guards and researchers was gradually disappearing, and the guards and researchers who had died before were resurrected in the sea of ​​fire.

If the sea of ​​fire disappears, I won't be able to continue to exert my full strength here. Thinking of this, I burst out with all my strength, and the receding sea of ​​fire suddenly roared again.

The guards and researchers who had come back to life were once again reduced to ashes in the sea of ​​fire. Even the laboratory and the various equipment inside were burned down. Afterwards, they were restored to their original form under the rewind of the restart power and were reduced to ashes again...

Now, there are two conflicting forces inside the base, one is the fire force that destroys everything, and the other is the restart force that reverses everything. The restart process is forcibly blocked by the fire.

The flames that were attacking Doctor Silver Mask also stopped their retreating momentum, and even had the vague power to suppress and restart, intending to approach him.

He showed his astonishment.

"How is this possible! This is the power of a fragment of the divine seal. Could it be that you..."

While speaking, he seemed to be trying to drive the power of restart, but he still couldn't stop the pace of flame invasion.

I also have the fragment of the divine seal. Even if I cannot use the power of the fragment, there is no reason for me to let him control me.

The manifestation of his power of restart is somewhat similar to that of Mazao's power of return. It is also the power to reset things to their original state. However, upon closer inspection, there are indeed some differences.

Compared to the power of return, the power of restart is overwhelmingly stronger. Not only can it reset everything in an area, but it can also revive all the humans whose deaths have reached three digits at once. Even if you strengthen Mazao's power of return a hundred times, it is impossible to do what Dr. Silver Mask is doing now.

However, it is only powerful. The power of restart seems to be able to do only this one thing. I cannot feel the infinite possibilities from it like the power of return. This is a rigid, mechanical, lack of prospects, and a monotonous fruit that is purely based on a strong foundation. Perhaps this is also evidence that the user, Dr. Silver Mask, cannot flexibly use the power of the fragment of the divine seal.

At this rate, I could burn him to ashes in a few minutes.

It’s a pity that things won’t develop so smoothly. There is someone who won’t just sit there and watch me burn Doctor Silver Mask to death.

A figure suddenly jumped out from the shadows behind me at high speed and attacked me.

It’s Chen Long.

It is said that if he wants to use shadow teleportation inside the base, he must first obtain the consent of Dr. Silver Mask. It seems that this consent does not mean that he needs to submit paper materials or get verbal instructions. Maybe Dr. Silver Mask can lift the ban just by thinking about it. It's not that I didn't guard against his sudden attack, but under the premise of focusing part of my attention on Dr. Silver Mask, I really can't defend against the flash attack of this great enemy.

His fists landed on my body and blasted me out of the lab.

My body crashed through dozens of walls in succession, and the broken walls were quickly repaired and closed under the power of restart, and were knocked open by the supersonic Chenlong. For people like us, even if we are in a room with countless walls, it is actually no different from a vast plain or in the air. The terrain element does not exist. He crashed through countless walls and circled behind me at high speed, attacking me again.

His attack power is far inferior to that of the magic gun. Although the heavy punch just now caused severe pain on the soul level, it did not leave a wound that could hinder movement. Even if it really caused damage, I can just repair it later. But with him beside me, I can't focus all my attention on Dr. Silver Mask. As expected, I still have to get rid of him first.

Now he has put on the "portal armor", and I still can't think of a way to solve this invincible defense. At the same time, I feel that the power of Dr. Silver Mask's restart is still acting on me, making my movements slow. I have no choice but to further increase the strength of the fire elemental body.

Suddenly, a shaky feeling came over me.

Even though I had clearly used the sea of ​​fire to support my existence in an independent real space, I felt like I was about to "break through the void" and fall out.

And almost at the same time, I understood why this phenomenon occurred - because I was increasing the density of my flame.

"Increasing power density" is contradictory to "expanding the scale of existence and establishing a foothold here". Even if I can exert my full strength in this independent reality space now, I cannot use skills with too high density.

The first prerequisite for me to brute force the "Portal Armor" is to compress and strengthen my own fire power to the extreme.

No wonder the magic gun said that I couldn't defeat Chen Long in this independent reality. I'm afraid he was just like the girl Lu Chan. After reading the information about the independent reality, he realized the truth about why Chen Long could exert his power normally here, and then came to the conclusion that it was impossible to break the "portal armor" by force here.

In order to defeat Chen Long, the battlefield must first be transferred to the real world. In that case, Dr. Silver Mask must be killed first to destroy the independent real space. And in order to kill Dr. Silver Mask, Chen Long must be defeated first... This is a complete vicious circle.

I used Fire Teleport to avoid his attack, but he released a large amount of Shadow Dust like the last time we fought, and then used Shadow Teleport to attack me close to me.

"You can penetrate the firewall mechanism of this base and are immune to the power of restart... It seems that you also have a fragment of the divine seal." He said coldly, "I won't ask how you found this place, but I will make you pay the price for your invasion. You will leave your life and the fragment of the divine seal here, and your body and soul will become the research object of the Humanitarian Department like those demon hunters." "Just rely on your weak fists?"

Based on the experience of the last battle, I think he should not have a more powerful means of attack. This is not to underestimate him, but if he still has a trick, he should have used it in the last battle.

His fighting style is to advance steadily while ensuring his own safety. As the saying goes, a good fighter is not necessarily famous for his achievements. Compared to winning by unexpected killing moves, in a sense, he may be closer to the right way of fighting.

However, unlike what I expected, at this moment, he seemed to have some cards to reveal.

I saw that his right hand wearing black armor suddenly began to emit white light, which gave me a sense of danger.

"Are you really that weak? Take this blow first!"

He shouted loudly and attacked me.

At this moment, a voice sounded from a distance: "——Chen Long!"

Chen Long paused slightly.

That was the voice of the young girl Lu Chan.

At this moment, she was standing at the door of the supervisor's office. In fact, her voice did not reach us very well, as there were several floors between us. However, I could always confirm her movements by relying on the sea of ​​fire that filled the base, and Chen Long could probably rely on his extraordinary perception and hearing to grasp the movements of any place inside the base.

"Lu Chan..." Chen Long said in a deep voice, "It seems that you are also involved in this matter. No, it would be impossible if you were not involved. Did you make those demon hunters go crazy and riot? The purpose is... hum, to get from me the method to use power above the level of Cheng here, so he would start a sea of ​​fire before showing up..."

In just a moment, he understood everything.

He should know that the girl Lu Chan is not the real Lu Chan, but he still calls her Lu Chan.

"You are indeed a nuisance. I was too soft-hearted in the past and shouldn't have left a useless person like you aside. After this matter is over, I will use my own actions to make you understand what your proper position is." He said in a threatening tone.

The young girl Lu Chan replied unwaveringly: "You won't do it again, Chen Long. I will no longer allow Ying Lingyun to use you as a puppet and continue to manipulate you to help the tyrant."

"Puppet? Control me?" Chen Long sneered, "You still use the same old tricks, Lu Chan. Although I don't know where you know the true identity of Silver Mask, you still don't understand that I have never been brainwashed."

The girl Lu Chan took a deep breath, and I felt that my spirit seemed to be pulled.

Now she is in the sea of ​​fire, in other words, she is still in a state of "physical contact" with me, so our mental synchronization is still ongoing.

She said she wanted to borrow my power to cast mental spells to interfere with Chen Long, so I didn't resist at this moment and let her do it.

Perhaps this is the only breakthrough to defeat Chen Long at the moment.

Although I wanted to defeat Chen Long alone, I still focused my attention on the present. If Chen Long launched a shadow teleportation surprise attack while she was casting a spell, I had to stop it as soon as possible.

And she spoke words that contained spiritual power, just like the hypnotic young researcher in the past.

"——You were not the shameless villain you are now. You were indifferent when your colleagues became miserable experimental subjects, and you even pushed your friends into hell without batting an eyelid!
"How much do you have to humiliate yourself before you wake up?

"Wake up quickly, Chen Long!"

"..."

Listening to the words and mental spells of his old friend, Chen Long seemed completely unaffected.

No, not "like".

He just wasn't affected by anything.

"How many times do you want me to repeat this before you give up, Lu Chan?" He said calmly, "I have never been brainwashed."
